I must say, that the KT 9900 is the best tuner I have ever heard. I had a couple of highly regarded ones, but this one stands out above all of them. I couldn't afford to keep it, and it was in such new like condition. I have a Luxman T 14 that Don Scott recommended, that is very vice sounding, that I will have modded soon.
Rhode + Schwarz, handmade ugly looking bitches from Germany. All handbuild to the highest possible degree. Price new in the 70 at about 17.000USD. That says it all. They did a version with tubes as well. It is so good that even my spectral CD Combination seams a joke against that staff. Here in Germay you get it rearly and mostly in poor Conditions starting from 1.500 to 4000 USD depending on the state . The second best i have heard is the Kenwood L-01T, or 03T Very good very rare.
It depends on the RF situation, For DXing the Yamaha T-85 or T-80 as well as the Onkyo 9090 series 2 are up to the task. For audio quality when a clean, un-compressed signal is available (A good rooftop is required as well). The Mac 77 0r 78, as well as the sansui TU-9900 come to mind. O-rod
